Like a blue bird with his heart removed, lonely as a trainI've run just as far as I can runIf I never see the good old days shinin' in the sunI'll be doin' fine and then some

How long, how longWoman will you weepHow long, how longRock yourself to sleep

Well I been doin' time in lonesome prison, where the sun don't shineJust outside, the freedom river runsOut there in that shiny night, with blood hounds on your mindDon't you know it's the same sad situation?

How long, how longWoman will you weepHow long, how longRock yourself to sleep

[Joe's instrumental]

Everybody feels alright you know, I heard some poor fool say (Somebody Ooooo)Everyone is out there on the looseWell I wish I lived in the land of fools, no one knew my nameBut what you get is not quite what you choose

Tell me, how long, how longWoman will you weepHow long, how longRock yourself to sleep

How long, how long (long and drawn out)Muddy River runs so deepHow long, how long (long and drawn out)Good night baby, rock yourself to sleep,Sleep tight baby, rock yourself to sleep,B-B-B Bye bye baby, Rock yourself to sleep
